French immersion
Cultural immersion
Water baptism by immersion...
A few weeks ago I mentioned to my husband that our youngest was having some difficulty retaining some math concepts. She'd seem to get it, so we'd go on to the next lesson, then we'd have a review and it would all be gone! Frustrating.
My husband suggested I immerse her in math. Help her become fluent in the language of numbers. Give her math sheets coming our of her ears with reviews of every concept. Full numeracy immersion.
It has worked.
She has gone from dismal to exceptional.
So we continue to immerse. And the wonderful thing is there are no complaints from our young student - likely because she is now "getting it." She is becoming fluent.
We see the same with music immersion as well. Practice each day is better than a huge hunk of time once a week.
But most beneficial of all - spiritual immersion.
How incredibly effective it has been to immerse ourselves in God.
The vine and the branch.
No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4,5
